  • Printable pages are right justified?

    Posted 15 years 1 month ago
    • I'm having a problem where when I click on the printable page the formating almost looks backwards (a list of items will be right justified and have the number.. 1, 2, 3.. on the far right end instead of left justified starting with the number). Tables also appear backwards when the printable page icon is clicked, and the PDF converter doesnt seem to be able to read tables. I really need to have this fixed asap, as a lot of my site will need to have printable tables this week. site is www.islanddragway.com , here is a link to one table for reference www.islanddragway.com/index.php/street-car-shootout/payouts and one link to a list of rules that the printable page messes up www.islanddragway.com/index.php/street-c...otout/shootout-rules

      Thanks

    • Seems like somehow when clicking on the PDF, it publishes it in the Right-to-Left fashion, which would be commonly used in other languages. Could be somehow that you have two language files setup and this is causing a conflict? I really don't know.

      I would check that specific article and under the global properties, make sure you are using english.

      Try that out.

    • Sorry, Melissa - I didn't forget about you. Try this out (from Joomla forums):

      Copy / paste the following code into a text file and save it as: component.php

      Then upload it to your template_root folder

      I hope this works for you. If it does, let the forum know and then close out post - green check.

    • I'm sorry, I forgot about this post when I got busy with other nonsense at work... I don't have a template_root folder, do you mean within my template folder itself?

      Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but I'm going in throuhg my FTP client, should I do this in joomla?
